Contents of README:GPlates is free and open source desktop software for the interactive visualisation of plate tectonics for research, educational, professional, and other purposes. It is developed by an international team of researchers and software developers who refer to internal divisions of the University of Sidney and Caltech (California Institute of Technology). GPlates offers a novel combination of interactive plate tectonic reconstructions, geographic information system (GIS) functionality and raster data visualisation. GPlates enables both the visualisation and the manipulation of plate tectonic reconstructions and associated data through geological time. GPlates can be used to handle and visualise data in a variety of geometries and formats, including raster data, to link plate kinematics to geodynamic models, to serve as an interactive client in a grid-computing network, to facilitate the production of high-quality paleo-geographic maps. GPlates requires in runtime pre-packed datasets provided by the project or other datasets. By default, this slackbuild does not install any dataset, since the download of project's data source is allowed only by using a web browser. Standard procedure compliant with curl or wget is not allowed. If you want to install the data source using this slackbuild follow the download instructions reported in README.SBo file and save the archive gplates_2.3.0_geodata.zip in the same directory of the slackbuild script. The slackbuild autodetect this archive and if found will include the datasets in the installation package. Datasets will be installed in the directory /usr/share/gplates/GeoData Alternative datasets are not handled by this slackbuild. If you want to use other datasets you have to add them in local or shared directories and apply them using the tools of the application GUI. CGAL library is a required dependency, but the build can also use the alternative header-only library CGAL5 if installed in your system. Published works powered with GPlates should include the following citation: Müller, R. D., Cannon, J., Qin, X., Watson, R. J., Gurnis, M., Williams, S., et al. 2018.
